Dip your sack in it like it’s Shore Lunch and you’re good to go for a few days.
Camp is where you make it.

Been my experience here in the rural farm areas of West KY I've hunted that the various common everyday scents of civilization, humans and associated human activity are so prevalent that deer generally don't pay a whole lot of attention to it, whereas physical movement will almost always catch and focus their attention. Uncommon to the area 'foreign' scents can catch and focus a deer's attention, too, but being curious by nature, it's a tossup whether they will spook or be attracted to investigate the source. Countless deer are killed every year by hunters who go straight from work to the woods, eating breakfast at a crowded greasy spoon, etc., reeking of said associated scents.
As always, though, YMMV...

I’ve hunted Ark, La, Miss, & Al. That has been my experience & observation in these 4 States.

My advice is meant for the guys who spend gobs of money on Fartlok Suits and spray $20/bottle product on their clothes.
What's your take on the cough silencer? He coughs into a goose call I bet. Deer are used to geese, esp. when smelling like baking soda! LOL
I would have got him too but a Dad Blam snow flake hit me in da eye....
